The radar, which serves air defense purposes, will be delivered to Chitila, a commune North of Bucharest, according to Romania-Insider.

The purchase was done through direct negotiation, without a prior purchase notice, because only the American group produces this type of equipment.

Lockheed Martin is the biggest weapons producer in the world, with sales of 40.8 billion USD in 2016.
